This is a big conifer woodland that has many heritage features scattered thoughout, including Polmaddy settlement, a classic example of a Galloway Village before the improvements and clearances of the 1700's and 1800's.
The Polmaddy burn winds its way lazily through the woodland which opens up to afford wonderful views of the surrounding countryside.
Access is off the A713 between New Galloway and Dalmellington.
How to get there:
Polmaddy is in Galloway Forest Park.
From Newton Stewart
Take the A712 signposted New Galloway. From New Galloway take the A713 signposted Ayr/ Carsphairn.
After Carsphairn look out for Forestry Commission sign on the road signed for Polmaddy. Turn left off the main road and follow forest road to the main car park. The car park is situated on the right hand side and follows a wee track through the trees.
Dalry St Johnstown and Carsphairn are the nearest towns or villages.
